Ipconfig

[wicket]

Does anyone know of a small utility that I can place on our end-users' desktops that they can click on to find out what their IP is? Sometimes its a pain to walk them through a simple ipconfig using command prompt.

or any other site like that.

That seems to be picking up our firewall IP or some other device address. I just did it on my PC and its not the IP that I have

ah yeah, it picks up your outside ip. didnt realize you were behind a firewall.

i dont know how big your place is, or how your naming scheme is for your systems but if you know the computer name then just look up the lease in dhcp for that machine.

ill keep my eye out for something in the mean time. also creating a batch file where they just double click it it will show ipconfig might work so look into that.

Thanks Warez! I can't believe I forgot about that program. We used to use that a while back with a different company.
